The artwork titled “Mirror/Mirror – Table/Table” was created by Richard Artschwager in 1964. Rendered in wood, this piece is an exemplary work within the Minimalism movement and falls under the genre of installation art. It is housed at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles, CA, US.
The artwork consists of four geometric shapes arranged in a structured fashion against a wall, comprising two wall-mounted pieces resembling mirrors positioned above two box-like structures resembling tables. The color scheme includes muted tones, with each shape meticulously painted to reflect a minimalist aesthetic. The juxtaposition and repetition of forms and functions within the artwork invite contemplation on themes of reflection and utilitarian objects. The restrained use of color and form emphasizes the simplicity yet profundity of Artschwager’s conceptual exploration.
